Dear JNA developers,

could you point me to an example on how to identifying symbolic links on Mac OS 10.5.1?

Currently I am using SVNKit@HEAD which pointed my to your library. In SVNKit there is a function for identifying file types, but on my Mac OS X 10.5.1 it always returns null, no matter if I commit a symbolic link to a directory or to a file.

Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

In the following is a copy of getFileType function out of the SVNKit library:

public static SVNFileType getFileType(File file) { if (file == null || ourSharedMemory == null) { return null; } String path = file.getAbsolutePath(); if (path.endsWith("/") && path.length() > 1) { path = path.substring(0, path.length() - 1); } try { ISVNCLibrary cLibrary = JNALibraryLoader.getCLibrary(); if (cLibrary == null) { return null; } synchronized (ourSharedMemory) { ourSharedMemory.clear(); int rc; synchronized (cLibrary) { rc = SVNFileUtil.isOSX || SVNFileUtil.isBSD ? cLibrary.lstat(path, ourSharedMemory) : cLibrary.__lxstat64(0, path, ourSharedMemory); } if (rc < 0) { if (file.exists() || file.isDirectory() || file.isFile()) { return null; } return SVNFileType.NONE; } int mode = SVNFileUtil.isOSX || SVNFileUtil.isBSD ? ourSharedMemory.getInt(8) : ourSharedMemory.getInt(16); int type = mode & 0170000; if (type == 0120000) { return SVNFileType.SYMLINK; } else if (type == 0040000) { return SVNFileType.DIRECTORY; } else if (type == 0100000) { return SVNFileType.FILE; } else { if (file.exists() || file.isDirectory() || file.isFile()) { return null; } return SVNFileType.NONE; } } } catch (Throwable th) { // } return null; }

I would appreciate your help, /nm
